Schloss Neuschwanstein
Enjoy a 3-hour tour with an informative guide to visit the popular Neuschwanstein Castle (the inspiration for Disney castle). (With Skip the Line service, you don’t have to worry about waiting for hours to get tickets or tickets being sold out when you arrive). You are picked up at Hohenschwangau village. First, we take the shuttle bus to Mary’s Bridge (Marienbrücke) for some amazing pictures. Then we walk to Neuschwanstein (the fairy tale castle) with a tour inside. Learn more about the Swan King (Ludwig II), King of Bavaria (1864-1886), and the history of Neuschwanstein Castle (built 1869-1886). Afterward, from the castle’s foot, we take a horse carriage to Hohenschwangau village. Take a walk around the beautiful Lake Alpsee and enjoy the rest of your day in the Hohenschwangau area. # Please note that during the winter months, due to snow and for safety reasons, the Marienbrücke is closed.

Barbarian gem
Simon_B, October 2026
Very well organised and interesting host . Stephen certainly puts a lot of effort into his hosting , we felt the trip was good value for money and well worth the effort . There is quite a bit of walking up and down and not really suitable for those with mobility issues .

Day in Neuschwanstein Castle
Flyer322828, October 2026
Hohenschwangau castle is owned by the Wittelsbacher Ausgleichsfonds (the Wittelsbach family's compensation fund) rather than a private individual, and it holds deep historical significance as the childhood home of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. If you are interested in learning about Ludwig II probably a good idea to do this one. It was okay nothing too spectacular
★★★★★Viator review
Massive miscommunication - extremely disappointed
Jackie_S, October 2026
We booked this tour to pick us up at the a specific time and place at the Zurich airport. After waiting over an hour we were able to get wifi connected through the airport (I had forgotten to activate international calling on our cell phones). We communicated via email with the provider who had not tried to call during that hour. The provider told the driver we were coming in on a flight and would call. I have no idea where the driver waited but it was another 40 minutes before we were picked up - now 1 hour 40 minutes late. We had timed tickets to Neuschwanstein and the driver was not certain we would make it in time. We did with 3 minutes to spare but he had been driving at between 90 and 140 kpm. The driver had never been to Neuschwanstein which was troubling because I would have expected a driver with knowledge of the route (he did have navigation). Our return trip was uneventful but the day started out very frustrating and we worried the entire drive whether we would make it on time. I would ask for a refund but I doubt we would get one. That said, the driver, Pascale, was nice and polite and the vehicle was very clean.
